Alex received her B.M.E. from Lee University, and went on to earn her certification in Suzuki Violin units 1-7 from teacher trainers James Hutchins and Libby Armour. She now serves as a Suzuki strings teacher with the Academy of Music in Norfolk, Strelitz International Academy in Virginia Beach. Additionally, she is in her second year as director of orchestras at Norfolk Collegiate. Alex\u00a0performs regularly\u00a0with Symphonicity orchestra, wedding chamber groups via 757 Strings, and at local retirement facilities with the Tidewater Arts Outreach. Her favorite composer is Tchaikovsky, and her favorite chamber piece is Schubert\u2019s 13th\u00a0string quartet. When (rarely!) not practicing music, Alex loves reading, knitting, watching Gilmore Girls, and adventuring or cuddling with her dog Max.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.M.E. in K-12 Instrumental Music from Lee University. \u00a0Studied with Christina Morton, Weiyi Yu, and Don Davis. 10 years teaching experience; 20 years performing experience.
